Neymar Jr has not managed to position himself as the big star of Al Hilal as expected in the first days and in the last match, many demanded his action from the penalty spot. Al-Hilal won the Saudi Professional League and is the leader of the tournament, although Neymar still has the problem of not being able to convert in these games that he has been playing since his debut. This was published by the Brazilian star after missing the penalty.

 

In the 2-0 victory against Al-Shabab, 'Ney' completed his fourth game with his new team, his third as a starter. And in the local league it was the third time he played, twice since the start. And like the enormous figure that he is, all eyes fell on him. The thing is that Neymar has been a footballer who has always stood out and is used to the spotlight, but since his departure from Europe, criticism of the player has multiplied and therefore, the Brazilian's failures do not go unnoticed.

At 37 minutes into the first half, the former PSG and Barcelona player found himself with the possibility of opening the scoring from twelve steps. He took the run, crossed the goal and the goalkeeper guessed his goal. The shot was not strong enough and the rebound went towards the center of the goal, but he did not manage to enter it nor push it, so he ended up missing the great chance he had.

 

Neymar and his reaction after Al Hilal's draw

"Great game, guys," Neymar wrote on his Instagram account along with two photographs that summarize the victory for the eighth round of the crazy league. This league is becoming stronger and stronger and world figures decide to try this destination that really has little exotic to it. One of the great competitors for the title is Al-Ittihad of Karim Benzema and N'Golo Kanté, as well as Al-Nassr of Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mané.
